High Court Decision Declaration that the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not Violate
The US company must go in front with Judge Birss' original
command to publish a take in on its own website for six months and take out
adverts in a variety of major magazines and newspapers proclaiming that Samsung
did not violate its rights.
Three judges were concerned in the case held before the
Court of Appeal, with one admitting that he even owns an iPad. This particular
judge, Sir Robin Jacob, also explained the reason behind turning down Apple's
appeal against the original ruling.
"Because this case has generated much publicity, it
will avoid confusion to say what this case is about and not about,"
He said:
"It is not about whether Samsung copied Apple's iPad.
Infringement of a registered design does not involve any question of whether
there was copying: the issue is simply whether the accused design is too close
to the registered design according to the tests laid down in the law.
"So this case is all about, and only about, Apple's
registered design and the Samsung products," he added
"We carry on to believe that Apple was not the first to
design a tablet with a rectangular shape and rounded corners and that the
origins of Apple's registered design features can be found in numerous examples
of prior art," a company spokesperson stated.
And one question for you what you think it right or wrong decision?
